Hello Lindsay,
Was this done hiking on a treadmill? Or outside? If it was inside on a treadmill refer back to the zoom call on how to calculate drift on a treadmill rather than using pa:HR.
I am uploading the zoom right now!

Hello Cat,
You are still on trial, so it will say you need to upgrade, but you already have been. Once the trial ends, your account will be paid for by Uphill Athlete!
I hope that makes sense!
MayaKeymasterCoach on April 11, 2022 at 6:14 am · in reply to: Heart rate monitoring: wrist based, chest strap or Polar Verity Sense #65417Hello Pia,
I am not familiar with this polar option. I am hesitant as the reason the HR monitors aren’t very accurate is due to the distance from the heart. This seems to be using very similar technology as the wrist HR monitors. I am sorry to hear the chest strap causes you so much pain and discomfort.
If you still have an old chest strap, I would recommend using it for your AeT Test. See how that feels. Once you have that data you will hopefully be able to use your wrist monitor to at least train in the same zone even if the watch is saying something different than your test. As long as you are consistent and you are training below AeT you shouldn’t need to wear your chest strap.
If you don’t have a chest strap, there are other options (not as accurate) but still useful to estimate where your Aerobic Threshold is without an AeT Test. We will talk about them on Tuesday 🙂
I hope that helps!
MayaKeymasterAs Carolyn said, we will cover this topic in-depth on Tuesday. However, the AnT test is a very physically demanding test that we wouldn’t want anyone to just jump into, so therefore, it isn’t on the plan immediately for Base and Intermidate plans.
Happy to answer more questions about this Tuesday 🙂
MayaKeymasterHello Jeni,
Thanks for reaching out, I didn’t see your name in Training Peaks yesterday which is why you haven’t gotten your plan yet. I now see you have connected it to our coach account and I will apply it ASAP.
MayaKeymasterPlease look at my post above! Here is the link again:

I can see your account in our Training Peaks (which is awesome!). Now I just need you to fill out this survey so I know which plan to apply to you.

KeymasterHello Summer and Kiana,
Summer: I am traveling today and my computer with all of this information is currently dead. Summer, I think I have seen your name in Training Peaks so I will double check when I get to my destination (should be within the next 3hrs).
Kiana: all of this is manually done so I just haven’t been on my computer in the last 4hrs. As I said above I will be on to load the plans in the next few hours and you shouldn’t have any problems. I wouldn’t recommend doing both plans at once, they are both designed to be done individually. Carolyn and I are unable to customize a plan for you with this group, you could sign up for a phone call with one of us for $50/30min.
If either of you still don’t have your plan by tomorrow please let me know!
MayaKeymasterHello Pia,
Great questions! I would recommend sticking with the Intermediate plan for now. You can always add a little volume if you feel like it is lower than you are used to. If you don’t have a large strength background hopping onto the Advanced plan would be a mistake. Additionally, you will start seeing some anaerobic, or higher intensity work with the Intermediate plan in a few weeks. So don’t add in anything extra higher intensity just yet, see how this goes. As for hiking vs running. I would highly recommend you do one of your aerobic days hiking. Running is hard on your joints and body and giving it a day to not run is incredibly beneficial. With that being said, if you are used to longer runs I would keep doing those in prep for your race on the weekend and switch one of the other weekly runs to a hike. Does that make sense?
MayaKeymasterHello Elaina,
Your training plan should be on Training Peaks. If you are not seeing the Training Plan refer back to the first half of our zoom call. It has been recorded and is posted on the forum under the post “ Updated! Google Drive a Zoom Links FUA Spring 2022” The google drive link will have all of the zooms in the future as well if you miss them.
You can request a phone consultation using this link: https://uphillathlete.com/product/coach-phone-consult/
It is $50/30min.I hope this helps! If you still don’t see your Training Plan after following the steps from the zoom please let us know!
MayaKeymasterHello Meighan,
I think with your timeline and your wanting to add in other sports I would stick with the Intermediate plan for now. If in a few weeks (2-3) you feel like you can handle more I will happily switch you. I would rather you start off at an easier level before you add more. Does that make sense?
MayaKeymasterHello Laura,
Of course!! I will change both you and Megan right now 🙂
MKeymasterHello Megan,
I would recommend Advanced if you are already on that plan and feel like it was a good level for you. Would you like me to change that for you?
MayaKeymasterThat is the correct plan! It looks like you are now just viewing the FUA plan!
